A Fair Trade In Progress and a Firm Tone

A Fair Trade In Progress and Firm Tone
to Prices in Most Departments.
INDIANAPOLIS, March IL.
The volume Of trade in the first half of March
hardly reached expectations Of merchants who
had set the mark high, yet the more conservative
ones are well satisfied with the results. The
situation seems of healthy character and the
outlook is decidedly favorable for trade during
the remainder of the month, and, in fact for
some weeks to come. The firm tone to prices is
still feature Of the situation, the grain and
-four markets being the only ones over which
cloud still hangs. The Boston Journal of last
Monday says: Zone thing has made itself
manifest by the squirt in wheat last week. Ind
that is that the stocks of -four in the hands of
jobbers and bakers are much reduced, for they
quickly sought supplies when there were pros
poets of RISE We have now had a long period
of dizziness, and OF trade confined to small lots
and sooner or later there must be increased buy-
ing. Flour is now so cheap that it is hardly pos
sibe that it can 60 lower. There is still talk Of
a prospective large export movement and should
this come within the next few weeks il cannot
but serve, with the stronger statistical wheat
situation at home, to make prices Of flour hrmer
In this event jobbers would find that they were
short of stock on an advancing market situa-
ton of affairs which they would not likely rel
ish." Grocers are having good trade this week
and prices all along the line rule steady and firm
especially is this true of sugars and coffees The
produce markets are active. Eggs and choice
butter are wanted at our quotations. Poultry is
still a little off. receipts large. The pro-
vision market shows the strong tone of some
time past, in spite of the predictions of the
bears to the effect that in early March there
would be sharp break. Oranges and lemons
are coming in more freely. especially California
fruit, yet prices well sustained The seed
market is active and prices are unchanged.

Early Winter Millinery.

American Ag%riculturist.
AS the cold weather approaches the
female mind naturally turns to the
consideration of that most important
part of her costume, the hat, or bon
net, and well may the modern wo-
man be bewildered by che variety of
shapes displayed for her to select
from. If she is young and partial to
the English style of dressing, she will
likely select a stiff, moderately high
crowned shape of the glossy beaver or
hatters' plush, as milliners term it.,
which was worn somewhat last win
ter, and will be still more in favor
this, as it now comes in a variety of
colors as well as black.
In felts, the low crowned English
turbans are still worn by conservative
people, and some of these have the
crown indented toward the front in
deed the leading feature of the new
est round hats are lower crowns and
projecting brims. These brims, how
ever, are most eccentric, and it is in
this the variety exists. Some extend
from the crown far out in front, some
are wide on one side, some turn up in
a point at the back of the hat, and
others roll toward the front, and be-
come gradually narrower on the right
side, while still another style rolls up
on both sides close to the crown.
These are often stylishly trimmed
with a long, rich plume extending
over the crown toward the back.
Another odd conceit is a pinked
edging of felt around the rim of both
hats and bonnets, while other felts
are embroidered in small leaf and
flower patterns. A new gray-blue
shade known as "Gobelin blue'' is
fashionable for millinery, as well as
walking suits, replacing "heliotrope''
which has had its day but the useful
browns and navy blues will, as ever,
be the most popular next to blacks.

Notes About Wearing Apparel.

Rural New Yorker.
One secret in good dressing is the
proper care of clothing. Never hang
your gowns where they will be press
ed or crowded against. Bonnets need
to be kept absolutely free from flies
and dust, as well as all wooden things.
If one must needs sweep and make
beds in a wooden gown, slip over it a
calico wrapper. Gloves of kid after
being taken off, should be carefully
smoothed out and not rolled up in a
wad. If you are interested in mems
wear see to it that pantaloOns are
folded fat, the front fold coming in q
straight line down from the waist
band through the middle ofthe knee.
Straighten out the legs, fold over in
two or three folds, and lay on a shelf
with a fiat weight on top--a pair of
folded sheets will do very well. The
bagginess at the knee may be greatly
obviated If trousers in continuous wear
are 80 folded at night. In buying
any garment have regard to your
greatest need of 1t and to what you
have to wear it with. 1t is more
economical and more satisfactory to
confne ones self to a very few colors.
The new feather-bone stay is prefer
able to whalebone for the waists OF
gowns. 1t is made Of quilts and the
wonder is, why shouldn't a woman
have invented it instead of a man ?
When I was in France some years
ago, a Frenchman supposed that he
was on the road to make a fortune in
weaving the feathers stripped from
quilts into cloth. What became Of
his invention / do not know: but il
would seem that something useful
should be made from every part o.
fowls feathers, they are SO unwear
outable, particularly when flying
about in a door yard!

Only Changing Their Jackets,

Fifty Years ago, when the early
founders of the temperance reform
had fought a good battle against
" distilled spirits" but allowing the
people to drink fermented liquors,
they found their members drunk on
the so-called "milder drinks" and
then began to inquire into the real
nature of wine, beer, etc. They
found that, while there was fifty
three per cent of alcohol in brandy
and rum, there was twenty-five
per cent, in Madeira wine, sew
enteen in claret, and from five to
n ne in ale and cider. Then they
adopted the pledge including all
Intoxicating liquors." Rev. DIR. Ly-
man Beecher tells Of the fight against
brandy and rum, and says:
"But no sooner had we put the
enemy to flight than we found he
had a great many auxiliaries, whose
power we never were aware of until
t ,e main body was gone. Then they
became the main body, and We
found that the main body itself, that
we supposed we had driven off the
field, had only gone around the hill
and changed their jackets, and now
came up again under the banner o.
wine, beer, and cider. So we had t
fight the battle over again with the
same soldiers"

Education and Farmers.

W. N. H. in New England Farmer.
Farmers sometimes complain that
if they send their sons and daughters
away to school, they will not return
to farm life. Friend, that is greatly
owing to the early training you give
your children, and to the class of
school you send them to. Ifa farmer
is all the time complaining, telling
how obnoxious it is to farm, how
much better to be a merchant, law
yer, or anything but a farmer and
iffor the first fifteen years of the sons
life he constantly hears these things,
can you wonder that he says: sfhate
the farm ?" On the other hand, let
the farmer praise the farm; say
the fault is not in the land, but in the
ignorance of the farmer let him
| give his son the advantages of COM
mon and more advanced schools and
watch the result. "Train up thy
son in the way he should go, and
when he is old he will not depart
from it." Teach your son that the
nation could not exist except for the
farm, and that there is no greater
honor than that of being a farmer
tell your daughters that a true farm
er's wife is one of the noblest of all
Gods creations. Educate your sons
and daughters, teach them Alright.
and they will not leave the "old folks
at home.n Give us intelligent, edu'
Gated farmers, and then see how
quickly will rise the morals and
worth of our beloved nation.

The Sparrow Nuisance.

American Agriculturist for December.
The English Sparrow is an enemy
of our native songsters and drives
them away he is the foe of the gar
dener and fruit grower, because he ex-
pels the insectivorous birds, and then
solaces himself with the young plants,
the buds and the fruit (; he is destruc-
tive to the grape crop, and a rapa-
cious feeder thereupon. In ten days,
Sparrows in Australia robbed a sim
gle vineyard ofthree thousand pounds
of grapes. He is an enemy to the
grain growth, and destroys the
grain in the milk, as well as eats and
wastes it in the ripened head. He
defles buildings and destoyes the
vines that cling to them. He is not
a destroyer of insects. These boldly
festoon the haunts of the Sparrow
with webs, and fasten their cocoons
to them. At first he had the reputa-
ton of destroying caterpillars, and
the measuring worm. But now our
Caesar feeds on more toOthsome meat.
The State Entomologist of New York
has proven by observation, that the
caterpillar thrives where the Sparrow
most abounds, and the same conclu-
sion is reached by more than one Eng
lish entomologist. The loss from Spar
rows in England is put at four mill
ion dollars a year. In Australia the
loss is greater, and in the United
States it passes computation.

In Brief, and to the Point.

Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered
liver is misery. Indigestion is a foe
to good nature. ID
The human digestive apparatus is
one of the most complicated and
wonderful things in existence. 1t is
easily put out of order. ..gi
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy
food, bad cookery, mental worry,
late hours, irregular habits, and many
other things which ought not to be,
have made the American people a
nation of dyspeptics. r.sr a'aj
But Green's August Flower has
done a wonderful work in reforming
this sad business and making the
American peoples so healthy that they
can enjoy their meals and be happy.
Remember mo happiness with
out health. But Green's August
Flower brings health and happiness
to the dyspeptic. Ask your drug
gist for a bottle. Seventy-tive cents.

Prohibition Makes a Scarcity. OF Pris-
a. oners. G JlJw

1t is quite evident that prohibition
is injuring some kinds of business in
Iowa. On the opening of the Polk
County District Court at Des Moines,
this week, only three prisoners were
brought up from the Jail to challenge
the Grand Jurors, and there were
only four criminal cases before the
court. The Judge commented upon
the fact, and ex-Judge McHenry,
who was present, arose and remark
ed that he remembered the time, not
many years ago, when sixty prison.
ers had been brought from the cells
below at one time to challenge the
Grand Jury. The direct cause of
this decrease in criminals is the pro-
hibition of the liquor traffic. The
taxpayers can well afford to be de-
prived of a share in the ill-gotten
gains of saloon keepers called license
fees, when they are relieved Of pay
ing for the keeping and prosecution
of over fifty criminals.
